long and widely known throughout
the country, have expressed opinions

logical inquisiton firmly established
within the denomination, and contra

BY unintentional omission, it should
before have been mentioned that our
much-respected townsman, Mr.. Slas
Clark, reached his S5th year on the
3Oth of September last. Mr.. Clark, we
believe, has been resident of this city
a third of century, and nothing bet
ter can be said of any man than that
he has always sustained the reputation
of an honest. worthy and christian
gentleman. His friends hope he will
yet see many years.

BRIGHTON

We had plenty of rain here this
month. It rained the most of the time
during one week, and the sloughs and
ponds have commenced to fill up with
water again.
Miss Elizabeth Mich fell from buggy
while she was going to Burlington last
week, and had the misfortune to break
one of her arms.
Mrs. Mary Ann Newman has built a
new barn this summer.
Mr.. William Ludwig has built a new
house for his tenant on one of his farms
this summer.
Some of our people in the northeast
part OF our town are also bound for
Iowa. Mr.. Thomas Smith had an auc-
ton last week, and he is going to move
to Iowa, and his father is going to live
in Union Grove. Mr.. I. H Wadsworth
moved TO Iowa some weeks ago. His
fathers farm, wherein he was living,
has been sold to Mr.. Wilmore. Mr.. T.
III. Wadsworth is a man well educated
and was one of our prominent and best
men. He held the Office of Justice of the
Peace for seven or eight years, during
which time he did nearly all the Justice
business of this town; and, although
some OF his judgements we're taken to
the Circuit Court by appeal and certiorari
yet all were affirmed by that Court. He
Was also town clerk of this town, and
he was what may be called an honest
and conscientious justice and officer
an officer that wanted to execute the
laws in an honest, just and conscientious
way, and that considered his oath o.
Office sacred.
The couple which were married here
in the last part of last September made
big mistake in getting married twice
They would not have been married the
last time if the Rev. Father had known
of the first marriage. 1t was not hi,
fault, because he knew nothing abou
the first marriage.

The General Assembly Of the
Knights of Labor, which held a pro
tracted session at Minneapolis last
week, purged itself of the faint of an.
archy, which had been attached to it.
A minority made every effort to obtain
an expression OF sympathy for the
condemned anarchists, but failed
Grand Master Powderly, the acknowl-
edged head of the order, wisely resisted
all attempts of the Knights in any way
interfering with the criminals now in
prison. Some of the smaller labor
organizations have lost the respect of
the people for their solicitude on be-
half of the anarchists.

The anti-prohibition convention held
in Milwaukee last week, composed of
liquOr-dealers and others, passed reso-
lutions sounding the alarm that per-

overthrown, and the people deprived
of their natural rights. This calamity
will follow the deprivation of the peo-
pie of the liberty of INDUCING in the
free use of Intoxicating liquors.

Bottling Eggs.-The Office of the air
tight fruit jar may be enlarged to pre-
serve eggs as we'll as fruit. As soon as
the eggs are collected, put the jars into
hot water, and when thoroughly warm,
so as to rarely the air, put the eggs in
the jar, the pointed ends upward, and
pack them with paper or something to
prevent breaking; then close the jar be-
fore taking it out of the water. If the
work is skillfully done and the jar is
tight, the eggs will keep for many
months and be as fit for the breakfast
table as the day they were laid.

II has been declared principle in all
Republican forms Of government that
the people must surrender portion of
their rights for the proper securement
of the remainder. If this principle
were not accepted, there would be no
safety of life and property. The advo-
Gates of free liquor seem forced TO the
conclusion that the privilege Of drink
ing intoxicants outweighs all the
poverty, wretchedness and crime legi-
timately resulting from such privilege.

Wanted to Quit at Once.

Mr.. Freeman introduced a resolution in
the house early yesterday forenoon to the
effect that, as it was impossible to consider
any large portion of the bills on general
orders, the entire lot be transferred in a
bunch to the calendar and voted upon with
out discussion. No action was taken
on the resolution. Later in the
day MI Gregory moved to ad-
joun until Friday noon, the hour
for the final dissolution OF the house. He
said it was impossible under existing con-
ditions to make much headway in clearing
up the business, and it was useless to re-
main in session. 1t was better not to have
any legislation at all than to have lot of
bad legislation. An attempt would be made
to rush the bills on general orders to final
passage without consideration as was de-
monstrated by the Freem an resolution, and
this would result in the passage OF perni-
cious laws. 1t was better to adjourn and
leave everything undone. Ii the governor
deemed an extra session neseSSary let him
call it. He was in favor of shutting down
at once and stopping the evil that would
otherwise follow. The time of the legis-
lature had been frittered away in talk, and
the session had been burlesque of the
worst character. Mr. Petit was in the
chair and he did not like to put the motion.
In various ways he tried to evade it. But
MI Gregory was persistent, and finally the
motion to adjourn was put. The chair de-
clared the motion lost. and Mr.. Gregory did
not press il further.

Open Bids Still Received.

Two possibly funny memorials bidding
for the relocation of the state capital made
their appearance in the senate yesterday
morning. One was from Crookston, bid
ding $4,000, 600, a quarter section of land
and every absurd inducement; the other
was from the village of Orinoco, Olmsted
county, offering 500 acres of land and
So ZOO, 900. The tedionsness of these
chestnuts was becoming apparent, when
Senator Child, of Glencoe, offered resolu-
ton to prevent any more such memorials
from being received or listened to. He
thought there was too little time left for
the indulgence of nonsense and it was high
time the legislature got down to
serious business. Senator Daniels. of
Rochester. opposed the resolution
and occupied some very valuable time with
presumably eloquent speech to the effect
that bids for the state capital should be
permitted to flow in thick and fast notwith-
standing the rush OF business and the
pressing necessity OF reapportionmenu 1t
was high time the capital should be re-
moved. he thought, since st. Paul, through
its council, had taken the action it did with
reference to the high license question. Mr..
Childs' resolution was lost, but when the
alleged humor of the two memorials had
been tolerated for short time, a motion to
dispense with further reading of them was
carried unanimously. They go to the
waste basket.

ANNUAL. OR HsEN NAL.
The House and senate nt Logger.
heads on the Question of Legis-
lative Sessions.

lative Sessions.
The question of annual or biennial ses.
sons of the legislature came up in the house
again yesterday, and MeSsrs Keves, Don
nelly ami Potter had another wrangle over
it-JuSt at critical time. when everybody
wanted 10 work and We're not in the mood
to listen TO speeches. The house had agreed
upon bill to submit to the people both
propoSitionS-tor annual sessions of sixty
days or biennial sessions of ninety days
and allow them to decide which was
wanted. The senate refused to concur, and
struck out all reference to annual sessions
leaving only the provision that biennial
sessions of ninety days should be held
When this bill as amended came back to
the house yesterday the amendment of the
senate was concurred in without any con-
sideration. Mr. Donnelly afterward pro-
tested when the fact was discovered He
said he was willing to submit both ques-
tlonS to the people. but he would resist to
the end any effort to force the biennial law
without giving the people chance to say
Mhether they would not prefer annual ses-
sions. Mr. Potter favored concurrence in
the bill as amended by the senate, and.
when Mr.. DOnnelly moved to reconsider
the vote by which the senate amendment
had been concurred in, Mr.. Potter opposed
it. The yeas and nays were demanded and
the vote resulted:
feas-Alexander, Anderson. j. A, Ar

Points of some Cons suence.

Mr.. Flynn introduced bills yesterday by
unanimous consent and they were passed.
authorizing the following issues of bonds to
build bridges across the Mississippi river:
Elmdale, $5, 200; Two Rivers, $1,000;
Bellevue, $1,000; county of Morrison
$4,000 The town of Bellevue was also
authorized TO issue So. 600 to improve the
water power of the Platte liver.
The legislature continues to put money
into the purses Of those whom it looks upon
with favor. By vote of 62 to 10 the
house voted 500 each to Miss Kate Barr,
the telephone operator, and Miss Clemmie
Addison, the telegraph operator. Reese,
of Kandiyohi, introduced the resolution and
made an eloquent speech in its favor. when
Tousley, of Fillmore, interposed captious
objection.
A petition from citizens, of Dakota
county, asking that the office of superin-
tendent of schools be made elective was
presented in the house and referred to the
committee on education.
The house made compromise with it,
self yesterday. After fighting for an hour
on Tuesday over the report of select
committee recommending the transfer of a
large batch of bills from general orders to

Rescued From the Wreck.

AT one time yesterday 1t looked as though
the whole time of the session would be con-
sumed in wrangles and vain attempts by
members to advance their local bills. and
the appropriation bills would never be
reached. This would have necesstated the
calling OF an extra session. AID attempts
to have these appropriation bills taken up
out of their regular order failed, and it be-
gan to look serious. Speaker Merriam
called Mr.. Snder to the chair and came
down on the floor aud made an earnest plea
to the members to take up the appropriation
bills and dispose of them without regard to
anything else or any matters of local ma
ture. He asked 1t as personal favor that
these bills be passed, and beseeched them
in the name of common decency to do their
duty. This speech had the desired effect
and the following appropriation bills were
passed without dissenting voice:
Hospital for insane at st. Peter SIG, 500
state norman schooi at Moorhead. $1,000
STATE norman schooi at Wlnona ...-.. 10000
otate norihai scnool at Mankato...... $1,000

bault QsSS-lSS9). Observation-Disclosures. 1851
State public school at Owatonna Is O0D
Additional to annual appropriation for
St. Cloud normal school. ........... 1000
The house also passed the bills reported
by the finance committee relating to the levy
of state taxes for 1888 and 1889 and appro-
priating money from the revenue fund to paw
interest on temporary loans.
